Allies of President William Ruto have accused the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (Ipoa) of unfairly targeting police officers, while accusing the opposition of fuelling violence during the Gen-Z protests.
Speaking in Likuyani during the launch of a women's empowerment programme at Matunda Comprehensive School, Kanduyi MP John Makali, claimed Ipoa is targeting the police in its investigation instead of arresting those fuelling the Gen-Z protests. "Our police officers face immense challenges in maintaining law and order daily.
Yet, Ipoa seems to disproportionately focus on disciplining them instead of supporting their efforts," he said.
Makali and a section of the MPs also vowed to propose a law in the National Assembly that restricts public demonstrations to designated areas, which will effectively ban protests in towns and on main roads.
